So even\nif you have done your share, do a bit\nmore by attending the public meeting\non October 9th at Victoria hall, and\nbuy a ticket for the patriotic dance\nwhich will take place after the meeting. You will be helping a good cause\nand have a good time yourself, besides\ngiving someone else a good time, too.\nSir Herbert Ames has been the great\nmoving spirit in the work of Canada's\ngreatest and most important patriotic organization. We hope he will\ntake in the dance, too. Mr. Fred Nation is a loyal Victorian, a member\nof the Civic Retrenchment association and other bodies of that city, and\nhe has devoted his entire time to the\nfurtherance of the patriotic society of\nB.C. When public men can give their\ntime, influence and money to help\nthose whose fathers, husbands or\nsons are in France or Flanders, we\nprivate individuals should help them\nby doing all we humbly can, and we\nwill.\n1NA MITCHELL\nWith the Bostonians\n....Niagara Falls, Ont., Oct. 4.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The\n\"Maid of the Mist\" broke its propelloi\nshaft when within a few yards of the\nfoot of the Horseshe falls on the the\nsteamer's last trip of the day shortly\nafter 5 p.m. yesterday. 26 passengers\nwere taken off in life boats and landed\non Goat island.\nP.

But Wednesday and Thursday evenings the management having secured the assistance of a competent operator, the\nshow was good\u00E2\u0080\u0094more than good\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nbut the orchestra was too prone to\nbelieve the audience deaf.\nCHARLIE CHAPLIN\nThe Orpheum theatre management\nwas fortunate enough to secure a\nreally romantic, if visible, film of the\nTHE FAMOUS BOSTONIANS TO\nBE SEEN AT THE GRAND\nALL NEXT WEEK\nIf you talk in your sleep and are a\nmarried man, don't go to see the\nFamous Bostonians when they dance\nin to Fernie at the Grand theatre on\nnext Monday night, as they will without doubt captivate you completely\nand induce you to mention their names\nin your sleep. Of course, if you explain this to your wife before you go\nit will be all right.\nThis charming company is dancing\nand singing its way up and down the\nland for the twelfth consecutive year,\nand it stands to reason they could not\ndo it if they did not please.\nThere are some new faces and voices this season as well as the old favorites. Among the new members are\nthree Australians: Miss Dottie Brown,\nMr. Charles Bennett and Miss Ethel\nNaylor. Miss Brown is a dancer of\ngreat renown in her own country, and\nas a member of the Pollard Opera\ncompany created a big sensation in\nthis country by her clever work. Mr.\nBennett, the first young man to ever\nhav an active part in the Bostonians'\nproductions, has been accorded recog\nnition from the musical critics as one\nof the foremost young tenors of the\nday and an actor of considerable ability. Miss Naylor is a dancer of no\nlittle ability arid is vested with a\nsweet singing voice. Patsie Henry\nand Doris Canfield, those two youthful commediennes, are with the company this season as well as the prima\ndonna, Miss Ina Mitchell.\nThe company will open their engagement with a special matinee on\nThanksgiving day in the famous musical comedy \"The Isle of Dreams,\"\nwhich will be repeated for* the night\nperformance. On Tuesday night \"The\nGolden Slipper;\" Wednesday night\n\"The Girl in the Shrine;\" Thursday\nnight \"Tipperary Mary;\" Friday\nnight and Saturday matinee \"The\nRose of Honolulu.\" For the closing\nbill on Saturday night Manager Lang\nwill offer a big revue of the most successful scenes and song hits of the\nbills produced during the week.
